Publicación Designing and implementing blogs in English second language learning(European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU), 2022) Sánchez Calderón, Silvia; Escobar Álvarez, Mª ÁngelesThis paper discusses the design and implementation of an institutional blog that hosts a repository of online and open access grammar checkers with the objective of fostering the development of autonomous learning through the acquisition of skills related to the self-correction of written essays in English. Examples of these tools include Grammarly, ProWriting Aid, PaperRater or Writing Assistant, among others. This repository is hosted in an institutional blog at the National University of Distance Education (UNED), and each grammar checker is structured as follows: (a) a brief description of the tool; (b) the main functionalities that each tool offers for the self-correction of English texts with the visual support of a checklist; and (c) a short video tutorial. The main distinctive feature of these video tutorials is that they have been designed, taking as a starting point a corpus of English written texts produced by undergraduate students of Instrumental English I and II of the English Bachelor’s Degree and Modern Language I. Foreign Language: English of the Spanish Language and Literature Bachelor’s Degree. Thus, this institutional blog aims to contribute to the expansion of innovative digital resources that will help both English second language learners in the development of their written competence and self-correction of errors and English language teachers in the implementation of online Information and Communication Technology tools in the classroom.
